# Look at the beauty I scored! There is one leaf that I’m tempted to…

Look at the beauty I scored! There is one leaf that I’m tempted to chop, the one resting on the sill, but I don’t know. If the leaf doesn’t have support it falls and it’s yellowing. Ideas? Just got her today.

I vote chop

I would just chop it, it has plenty of leaves

I would chop, so it doesn't waste any more energy that the plant can use to grow new bigger leaves. I got a regal shield with lots of damaged leaves for cheap. I chopped all those leaves，left 2 and half decent ones for photosynthesis, now 6 months later she's like this :) this was her growing in low to medium light btw.
